A Palm-Tree Comments

Oh poor fir-tree... weep no more... your dreams shall come through shortly in the morn with the parent palm trees hugging your colded heart. Nice lines Heine.

Very inspiring, a beautiful poem

A touching little poem...

True intelligent poem by the great german poet all times Heinrich Heine

In German, Ein Fichtenbaum (a spruce) is a masculine noun and einer Palme (palm tree) is feminine. Given that Heine's early poetry was in the full Romantic tradition, I think the poem is about yearning of a male for a female perhaps a lost love. Placing this yearning in the context of nature is a common element of romanic poetry.

An excellent expression. Beautiful poem.

hmm very good....... and very inspiring

Grass is always greener on other side! Beautifully expressed.

His dreams are of a palm-tree, ..... well done by Heinrich Heine
